To create an overlapping layout in Webflow with a separate div block for the gray box and an image that stretches to the edge of the screen, you can follow these steps:
1. Add a Container element to house the overlapping layout. This will help you maintain control over the width and margins of your content.
2. Inside the container, create a new div block and give it a class name. Let's call it "gray-box". This div block will be responsible for the gray box you mentioned.
3. Style the "gray-box" div block by setting its background color to gray, adjusting the width, height, and any other desired properties. Make sure to position the div block relative to its parent container.
4. Next, add an Image element inside the container. Apply a class name to it, such as "full-width-image", to reference it in the styling.
5. To make the image stretch to the edge of the screen, you can use the following CSS properties for the "full-width-image" class:
- Set the width to 100% to make it span the entire width.
- Set the position to absolute to remove it from the normal flow of elements and position it relative to the nearest positioned ancestor, which is the container element in this case.
- Set the top, left, right, and bottom properties to 0 to position the image at the edges of the container.
6. Adjust the z-index of the div block and image accordingly to control their overlapping order. A higher z-index value will bring an element forward, while a lower value will send it backward.
7. Finally, fine-tune the additional styling such as margins, paddings, and other design elements to achieve the desired layout.
By following these steps, you can create an overlapping layout in Webflow using separate div blocks for the gray box and ensuring the image stretches to the edge of the screen. Make sure to preview and test your layout across different devices to ensure responsiveness and compatibility.
